Chelcee Grimes is a true future superstar. In her early teens, Liverpool born Chelcee combined her songwriting and musical development with being one of the best young strikers at Liverpool FC where, by the age of 17, she had become their record goal scorer.

Performing for the first time the actual first song she ever wrote, she won the competition and soon signed to Sony/RCA. Chelcee then embarked on two years of intensive development on and off stage.

Armed with the kind of voice that could shatter even the most hardened of souls, Sea Lion is the recording project of Gothenberg’s Linn Osterberg and Sanna’s Song is a devastatingly pretty introduction to her cautious and enveloping world. She describes her musical act very cryptically. From the depths of the deep, murky blue arises an ethereal beauty challenging the injustices and blandness of life’s inflections. With the help of an electric guitar, Sea Lion strips it all back to the innate components of love, life and learning. Channeling similar sounds of Kate Bush, Sea Lion will dig into your heart and mind with an innocent rawness and individuality. This makes her stand out from the huge crowd of singer-songwriters who accompany themselves on the guitar in a traditional fashion. Some listeners may initially find Osterberg's simultaneously hushed and high-pitched vocals disconcerting, and they are to be sure an acquired taste.

R.Seiliog is alias to Robin Edwards, a musician/producer operating from Cardiff, Wales. He was born in the basement of a watchmakers shop in Peniel, North Wales in 1985. This early exposure to the syncopated rhythms of countless different timepieces was to have a lasting effect on the way he hears the world and indeed, composes. His music has the repetitive, hypnotic, and melodic qualities of his kosmiche forefathers Klaus Schulzes, Cluster, and Harmonia, but is rhythmically more akin to minimalist composers like La Monte Young and Terry Riley. Put simply his music is drones and loops elevated with cheeky little melodic jaunts and pops. Having spent much of 2010-12 recording and touring with H.Hawkline, Cate Le bon, Gruff Rhys & Euros Childs; R.Seiliog's debut EP Shuffles saw him prepapre the world for his interwoven frayed, melodic threads of krautrock, psych and experimental electronics.
